Empower Your Decisions With Natal Astrology

in this session

We explore the art and science of astrology to provide pragmatic insights into your life's journey.

​

I specialize in translating the complex language of your birth chart into strategic advice, helping you navigate life’s challenges and opportunities.

 

Whether it's personal growth, career paths, or relationships, our focus is on using your birth chart as a tool for empowered decision-making and achieving your goals.

A BESPOKE
ASTROLOGICAL ROADMAP

My approach to astrology is personal and in-depth. I believe in building a relationship with you that extends beyond a single session.

 

Our journey together starts with a comprehensive look at your birth chart, where we uncover the intricate web of planetary influences unique to you. This initial exploration sets the stage for our ongoing collaboration.

​

In follow-up sessions, we focus on how these celestial forces play out in your current life situation. Whether it's your career, personal relationships, or personal growth, the aim is to provide you with a clear, actionable plan.

 

My readings aren’t just about forecasting events; they're about equipping you with the knowledge to navigate life's complexities with confidence.

​

This approach is not one-size-fits-all. Each session is customized to your specific needs and life goals. It's about understanding your story through the lens of astrology and using this powerful tool to create a roadmap for your future. By combining astrological expertise with practical advice, I help you align your actions with the optimal timings and rhythms of your life.

​

Together, we'll work to make astrology a practical part of your decision-making process, helping you to understand the deeper patterns at play and how to harness them to achieve your aspirations.

WHY CONSULT WITH ME

01

GOAL ORIENTED GUIDANCE

Each session is tailored to help clients understand and define their goals, with a clear focus on overcoming limitations. I provide 'homework' that keeps clients engaged with their chart symbolism and serves as a touchpoint for their objectives. Whether it's career choices, significant life events, or risk management, my readings offer practical, strategic advice grounded in astrological data.

02

ACCOUNTABILITY & PROGRESS TRACKING

Long-term clients benefit from a schedule of 'astrological due dates,' fostering consistent progress and motivation. This approach promotes client accountability, encouraging them to embrace favorable changes and exercise caution at the right times. My readings are designed to foster a partnership that supports clients in actively navigating their life paths.

03

LONG-TERM LIFE PLANNING

In our sessions, we take a broad view of your life, examining the significant phases and potential themes for different stages.

My approach allows you to see your life's journey from a wider perspective, enabling effective planning for each year, quarter, or month. By aligning these insights with your long-term goals, we transform astrology into a practical tool for personal development and strategic life management.

UNDERSTANDING THE SCOPE OF ASTROLOGICAL SERVICES

Please note that while astrology can offer valuable insights into various aspects of life, it is important to understand the limitations of these services.

 

As an astrologer, I am not qualified to provide therapy or counseling for mental health issues such as trauma, depression, or other psychological conditions.

​

My expertise lies in analyzing past, present, and future trends to assist you in making informed decisions about personal and professional goals.

 

My role is to act as a time-keeper, offering guidance on scheduling and planning aspects of life. If you are seeking support for emotional or mental health concerns, I encourage you to consult with a licensed therapist or mental health professional.

FAQs

  • Are astrology readings confidential?
    Absolutely. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of my practice. All discussions in our sessions, along with your astrological charts and personal information, are kept strictly private. Your trust is paramount, and ensuring a safe and confidential space is essential for a meaningful astrological experience.
  • Can astrology help me with my mental health issues?
    While astrology can offer a unique perspective on life's challenges, it is not a substitute for professional mental health care. Some therapists, counselors, and psychologists do integrate astrology into their practice, but not all astrologers incorporate psychology and therapy into theirs — myself included. For issues such as trauma or depression, seeking help from a qualified therapist or counselor is crucial.
  • Will I receive a recording of my sessions?
    Absolutely! Every session is recorded, ensuring that you can revisit and reflect on the insights and guidance provided at any time.
  • I'm dealing with personal trauma. Can astrology sessions help?
    While astrology can provide general guidance, my particular approach is not equipped to deal with deep-seated trauma. It’s important to seek support from a mental health professional for such concerns.
  • Can I get a refund from my meet and greet session if I decide to book a full session afterwards?
    While refunds are not available for fulfilled meet and greet session, every client receives a one-time 25% discount code at the end of their meet and greet. If you choose to book a single Chart Reading Interpretation Session or Horoscopic Planning Session afterwards, $50 from your meet and greet fee is credited towards your new booking, effectively reducing the meet and greet cost to $65.
  • Can I book both Chart Reading Interpretation Sessions and Horoscopic Planning Sessions?
    Yes, you can book both. However, for clients intending to work with me long-term, I recommend opting for Chart Reading Interpretation Sessions and adjusting the frequency of these sessions according to your goals. These sessions offer a more involved astrologer-client relationship. Horoscopic Planning Sessions, while also goal-oriented, are structured to be more hands-off in terms of interaction.
  • What is the cancellation/rescheduling policy?
    Notice Period for Cancellation/Rescheduling: You are required to give at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule a session. Fees and Penalties: There are no penalties for sessions rescheduled or cancelled within the 24-hour grace period. However, sessions cancelled or rescheduled past this deadline are non-refundable, except in emergency situations. Process for Rescheduling: Clients may reschedule a session more than once, provided that each rescheduling is done at least 24 hours in advance of the scheduled session. Method of Communication: To cancel or reschedule, please email joe@themercuryrising.com. Emergency Situations: In case of an emergency, clients should contact us immediately. We handle such situations on a case-by-case basis to accommodate your needs.
  • What's the difference between Chart Reading Interpretation & Horoscopic Planning Sessions? Which one is the right one for me?
    Chart Reading Interpretation Sessions are ideal for clients who wish to work with an astrologer over the long term. These sessions blend astrology and coaching techniques to enhance your quality of life and help you plan for the future with greater preparedness and certainty. Typically lasting 1 hour, clients are encouraged to begin with two Introductory Sessions focused on a thorough analysis of the birth chart and its cyclical patterns. For those familiar with astrological terminology, these are comprehensive Natal Astrology Readings. Horoscopic Planning Sessions, on the other hand, are more targeted and concise. Generally 30 minutes in length, these sessions do not require Introductory Sessions and are ideal for specific goals or projects such as planning a wedding, launching a business project, job searching, or re-entering the dating scene. The Horoscopic Planning Session is offered as a package of three 30-minute sessions, providing touchpoints before, during, and after a particularly auspicious date aligned with your goal. For those well-versed in astrological terminology, this is akin to an Electional Astrology Consultation.
  • What if I’m skeptical about astrology?
    Skepticism is natural, especially in a field like astrology, which operates on principles that are different from conventional science. I welcome skeptics and encourage you to approach the sessions with an open mind. The meet and greet session can be a great starting point to discuss any doubts and see how astrology can offer practical insights. Many clients find that even a basic understanding of their astrological chart can provide valuable perspectives on their lives.
  • What should I expect from an astrology session with you?
    Expect a focus on astrological analysis for personal and professional planning. The sessions are geared towards understanding life's timings and making strategic decisions, not for deep emotional counseling.
  • How can astrology assist me in times of change or uncertainty?
    During transitional phases or moments of doubt, astrology provides clarity and direction, helping you navigate life's complexities with a deeper understanding of the ebb and flow of your natural life cycles. Often, a challenging life event is linked to past occurrences. By analyzing how these themes played out previously, we can strategize how to effectively tackle them in the present and anticipate the potential conclusion of such cycles in the future.
  • How often should I have an astrology reading?
    The frequency of astrology readings depends on your personal goals and circumstances. For those engaged in ongoing Chart Reading Interpretation Sessions, I recommend bi-annual or quarterly sessions to ensure a consistent engagement with your natural cycles. However, if you're using astrology for specific events or decisions, such as in Horoscopic Planning Sessions, the timing might be dictated by the nature of the event or goal. It's about finding a rhythm that resonates with your needs and journey.
  • What is the best way to prepare for an astrology reading?
    To maximize the benefits of your reading, please come prepared with your birth date, time, and location. Having specific questions or areas of focus in mind will also enhance the session's relevance to your life. Due to my approach in conducting readings, it's helpful to spend some time reflecting on major life events that have already occurred. If you have the dates of such events, that's even better! During introductory natal sessions, our primary focus will be on your past and its reflection in the present. Understanding your origins clearly is invaluable for us to critically examine the present and anticipate potential future challenges.
  • What is the difference between astrology and therapy?
    My approach to Astrology provides insights based on celestial influences and is focused on life planning and decision-making. It is not a substitute for therapy, which addresses mental health issues and emotional healing.
  • What can my birth chart reveal about my personality and life path?
    Your birth chart provides profound insights into your inherent strengths, challenges, and the trajectory of both your personal and professional life. In my practice, I work with the astrological concept of Sect to identify which areas of life promote ease and which require more effort. Additionally, I analyze the Ascendant Ruler to determine your overall life direction.
  • What type of astrology do you practice?
    I am certified in both Hellenistic Natal and Electional Astrology, which form the foundation of many of my practices. However, I also employ Medieval and Modern techniques to provide a well-rounded chart reading experience.
  • Are there optimal times for making important life decisions according to my chart?
    Yes, astrology can identify auspicious timings for major life decisions, aligning your actions with favorable astrological configurations for better outcomes. In my practice I use techniques such as Transits, Annual Profections, Solar Returns, Firdaria and Primary Directions to determine those windows of time.
  • What House System do you use?
    I use both Placidus and Whole Sign Houses.
